There are new scientific studies that show it's probably best to rub or apply pressure when applying skin topicals: it can actually increase penetration.

Depending on the specific rubbing experiment, there was a two- to three-fold increase in product retained in full-thickness skin with rubbing than without.

"While these findings cannot be generalized to all skin care and cosmetic ingredients, they provide a basis and preliminary evidence suggesting that massage can be an important factor when treating skin. Its influence may be compounded by specific physiochemical properties of the chemical as well as the duration, pressure, and quantity of application. In the meantime, rubbing is just one of many variables influencing efficacy that await in-depth evaluation."

All of our serums perform different functions,
and all of them can work together.
A few of them pair together more intuitively.

Here's a breakdown.

FOR HAIR & SCALP

All of our hair stimulating products work wonderfully together.

• Our "hero product" RevivHair Max Stimulating Serum is applied daily, and is a leave-in serum. If you're looking for hair stimulation and grey hair reversal, try our new RevivHair REV ingredient booster for Max.

• RevivScalp Rejuvenating Scalp Serum Masque is a pre-shampoo serum for cranky scalp issues and hair thinning, and is left on the scalp for 10-30 minutes before shampooing.

• Our RevivHair Stimulating Shampoo & Conditioner and remarkable new RevivHair Placode Booster Serum (used 3-4 times a year) round out this product line perfectly.

• RevivLash Lash & Brow Stimulating Serum targets eyelash & eyebrow density & fullness. 

We recommend using all these products together to address hair loss and thinning hair issues. For the budget-conscious, landmark RevivHair Max  Stimulating Serum would be the first choice.

FOR THE FACE

Our latest invention, TelomErase 6-in-1 Multi-Corrective Serum is the current benchmark. We recommend this stellar treatment serum to all our customers.

TelomErase Serum has the same base as our very-popular Ultimate Serum, but also has instant skin tightening, more wrinkle blurring, and the latest in long-term anti-aging telomere support. It is also even more moisturizing than the Ultimate Serum. Many customers have "graduated" to this new serum.

Not to discount renowned Ultimate Serum: it has a number of novel ingredients not found in TelomErase, like alpha-arbutin for brightening and extra stem cells, growth factors & peptides for long-term anti-aging. It's also a favorite of customers who have previously used TNS® Essential Serum from SkinMedica®. If you use these two serums together, we recommend TelomErase in the morning, and Ultimate Serum at night.


Revivinol "Unretinol" Serum is another one of our unique serums we recommend to everyone, and all skin types. A daily skin renewal regimen with a retinol is essential, and Revivinol is unique in that it has all the benefits of a retinol/retinoid WITHOUT the side effects. Read more.


Reviv-C 36% Vitamin C Serum with Phloretin, Ferulic Acid, & Kakadu Plum is unique, and a rather standalone product that we always recommend. We lose a teaspoon of collagen from our faces every year after age 30. Ascorbic Acid is required to produce collagen, but our bodies don't make it. And cutaneous (skin) levels cannot be achieved well by ingestion, hence topical application is essential. The "gold standard" is ethylated L-ascorbic acid, included with Reviv-C Serum, and at a very high concentration. Powerhouse Reviv-C also brightens, and zaps blemishes, and stimulates the skin's defenses against damage.


Since hydration is different than moisturization, and most skin is dehydrated, we also always recommend our remarkable HA7X Multi-Molecular Hydrator Serum for hydration & plumping, as well as its anti-pollution & anti-stress effects (one of the great benefits of the award-winning Neurophroline® ingredient).


Our Copper Peptide Healing Serum contains a great copper peptide that is a wonderful active for skin. Because it generally cannot be combined in high concentration with vitamin C, it is a standalone product. It is not necessary to apply the copper peptide in the Healing Serum every day to achieve results (targeting inflammation, healing, and overall rejuvenation). You might reserve daily use of Copper Peptide Serum more to address specific, acute issues that may arise, like irritation, sunburn, rash, windburn, post-procedure, etc.

OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY

All of our facial serums can be used on the neck, hands and chest. TelomErase Serum and Ultimate Serum can be applied to the upper eyelid area, but be careful not to get it in your eyes.

Our RevivSculpt Transforming Body Serum is, of course, meant for the body, but can also be used on the face although it is a bit occlusive.

For stellar lip renewal, try our RevivLip Lip Serum System.

All our facial serums can also be applied to the lips, with caution, although only RevivLip has been tested on that area.




Further questions about how our product work together?! Send us a note.

RevivHair Max Hair Stimulating Serum is a cosmetic. As a cosmetics company, we are legally bound by U.S. FDA rules and regulations. And the FDA's definition of a cosmetic: a product that is "for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" and does not "affect the structure or any function of the body" which would make the product a "drug."

When developing products we often have to walk a fine line when it comes to formulating for efficacy and marketing claims. We cannot say that, for instance, a product "will grow hair." We have to be very specific about terminology. In fact, in general we don't use any specific claims for a particular product. Any claim verbiage we use is strictly related to the individual raw ingredients we utilize, and we use only major manufacturer data -- who are also under U.S. FDA regulations about what they can claim and what they cannot. Our manufacturer claim data is legitimate, bonafide, and accurate (and googleable).

So while we of course cannot say that RevivHair will "grow hair," we can say it may very well help provide the optimal environment for strong, healthy, thick looking hair. That may sound like marketing gobbledygook, but it's the law.

But what about "cosmeceuticals?" Aren't they a "drug?" From our colleagues at The Chemist Corner:

Ultimate Serum is really 11 different products in one:
